Abstract

Moisture-assisted aging technology (MAAT) is a green process that improves browning characteristics and functionalities. This study investigated the physicochemical and functional characteristics of aged tomatoes. MAAT modulated carotenoids biotransformation from esterified to free form (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy 1738, 2851, and 2922 cm) and generated primary and secondary oxidation volatiles, such as 4-terpineol, α-terpineol, and γ-terpineol (Headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass), which contributed woody and clove odors. Total flavonoids and α-glucosidase activity inhibitory were significantly increased from 1207.729 to 2318.204 mg RE/100 g DW and 77.703% to 86.851%, respectively. We discovered different synthesis pathways of 5-HMF and furfural under different water activities; this breakthrough may set furfural as an important factor in quality control of MAAT products in the future. Thus, MAAT can modulate the chemical form of tomato carotenoids, improve functionalities, and generate unique woody odor volatiles. These results may be applied to health food development in the food industry.
